third rail

wallow-  like a fat pig

                at the supermarket

I realize

today could be the day,

                the jumping off point

recorded at train stations

and other busy places.

a quick misstep

into the rails-  

                not paying attention,

                or maybe

paying too much.

timed perfectly-

swan dive disco head pop

gets people up & moving,

feeling alive

for the first time since '95

train slows

full stop

people get off-          gasping

pointing cellphones

at where

pig

self-slaughtered.
